Annually, Woodford Reserve honors the Kentucky Derby, famously known as "The Greatest Two Minutes in Sports," with a Derby-themed bottle featuring remarkable art. The special edition for the 150th Kentucky Derby highlights the artwork of Wylie Caudill, a Kentucky native. His creation, "Adorned in Roses," vividly captures the Derby spirit, showcasing a racehorse decorated in red roses set against a tapestry of colorful roses, embodying his signature bold patterns and love for roses.
The bourbon itself is a spectacle of flavors and aromas. It gleams with a honey amber hue and releases an aroma rich with dried fruit, mint, and oranges, subtly enhanced by cocoa, vanilla, and tobacco spice. Tasting it reveals a lavish blend of citrus, cinnamon, cocoa, toffee, caramel, chocolate, and spice, leading to a remarkably smooth finish that's creamy at first and ends with a warm and satisfying aftertaste.
Enjoying this bourbon alongside traditional Southern cuisine offers a culinary adventure as captivating as the Derby itself.
